Lecture by Wolfgang Ullrich: “Gurskyesque: the Web 2.0, the end of compulsive originality, and the return of the imitating artist”

There are forums on social network sites where amateurs exchange information on how to imitate the styles of specific photographers. In his guest lecture, Wolfgang Ullrich (Karlsruhe/Munich) expounds on the consequences that this new phenomenon has for artists’ perception and self-image.

This will be followed by a discussion with media theorist Leo Findeisen.
